hi all,
Just a quick question, I need to run my linux server on port 81.

apart from changing the listening port on apache2 is there anything else I need to do?

as the photos in the default format aren't working.

Cheers,

I don't know of any port specific issues in any URLs generated unless a 3rd pary module has a problem.

Are you redirecting a normal port 80 at the firewall or port 81 in and out? Either should work if Apache and XOOPS are configured right.

If the user's browser URL has the same base as in mainfile.php it should be fine no matter what port. But they should match.

And, what are you using to redirect?

More info might help.

I'm sorry you say Xoops/Apache should work work if configured right but I'm asking here "What it is I need to configure?"

As stated all I changed was the apache setting from 80 to 81.

The external users are accessing from port 81 because the internet names server (No-ip.com) are directing them to port 81 in the first palce and the SBS 2003 server is directing all port 81 traffic to a particular internal ip address.

the problems were urls for banners and the photos for gallery (I didn't check all however when I saw these two things were faulty).

Cheers,
Dean
